This session continues the work of of cluster in exploring Cluster Governance options, to engage a dialogue (not a debate) in an effort to learn more about charter schools, best practice and innovation in education. This is not intended to be a charter movement or to "sell charter schools" to our community.
For the past 12 months the Point Loma Cluster Schools Foundation (PLCSF) has reached out to stakeholders hosting community outreach forums at 8 of our 10 cluster schools and sent out cluster wide survey to to over 6,000 stakeholders to hear your voice. A common theme from our community regarding our cluster schools has been control of budget and programs, accountability, teacher evaluation and support, data driven decision making, hiring flexibility at school sites, engaging / relevant curriculum, paced / personalized learning environments, de-tracking of students, stability of leadership, flexible / adaptive schools and real time assessment.
In addition to the above, the PLCS has been put forth various governance models for discussion by our community. No decisions have been made. Current models being discussed in our community include:
- Continuing to improve the current model
- Exploring individual charter school options
- Exploring a charter district of cluster schools
- Exploring forming our own Point Loma School District
